About me: Champaign Illinois' only independent music, movie and video game hotspot. As if you didn't know. Located smack in the middle of historic downtown Champaign and keeping it real just like our fallen local retail giants before us: Record Service, Periscope CDs and Tapes and ACME Records. For the best in new and used music, movies, games, magazines, local music, and all things pop culture. That's what we know, so that's what we do. Jeah.

Yossarian is headlining at the Canopy Club this Wednesday, Dec. 17th. Since it's out first time headlining, it's kind of a big deal. We're trying to get a good turn out so we can have more opportunities like this.
The show starts at 8, and opening for us is Sirifax, Megan Johns, and Jared Bartman. You get 4 awesome acts for five bucks. In this snowy economic climate, that just makes good sense.
So if you have nothing better to do that night, grab up all your friends and come on down. We swear it will kick ass.

I wanted to let you know that Heather & I will be back at the Canopy to rock another show as Loaded. We've got some new VU worked up and we'd love to see you there. Details are below.
Show starts around 8:30 p.m. with Silly Joel. Loaded goes on around 10 p.m., and the Tot will close the night. We're asking folks to pay $5, but we'd rather have you present than have your money. Maybe, just buy some drinks. :)
